Medium Erotic Story of the Year, 2013.

Andy is alone on a Caribbean cruise and he's bored. Beth is a beautiful but neglected housewife and looks like just the challenge Andy needs. But is he up for it?
I wanted to include this story along with my reposting of The Sun Also Rises. I tend to carry over characters from story-to-story. And I know that it can be confusing when people from prior stories appear in the middle of new ones. Especially if a lot of time has passed as is the case here. This was written over a year after the Sun Also Rises. I wanted to explore the theme of infidelity between people who are essentially made for each other. The title is from a Hemingway short story.
